Bird ringers, we are (again) looking for dropped twite feathers.

While looking for raptors this morning, I came across this adult Swainson's hawk. I asked him why he wasn't in Argentina and he said that Argentina is too cold, bordering on Chile. #birds

Lovely to stumble across this resting Little Auk by Scarborough Harbour earlier today with @grahamscott14.bsky.social. It spent a while sheltering from the northernly winds at mouth of the Harbour, before flying strongly north into a heavy squall. A Great Northern Diver also fed nearby.

Congratulations to top British ringer
@kesteraw.bsky.social for putting up a Motus receiver at Pendeen in Cornwall, which has just detected a Dutch tagged Yellow-browed Warbler. The power of Motus to track the smallest birds without the need for recapture, is amazing! See motus.org for more info
